They must be on a leash and under your control at all times. There will be dog waste bags available, so please pick up after your dog. Any dogs showing uncontrolled aggression will be asked to leave. Additionally, dogs must be current on vaccinations for everyone's safety. *** Kid Policy*** Young children are welcome, but you must keep them under control at all times. They are not allowed to wander off, as there are other events happening at the fairgrounds on the same day. Not all dogs enjoy being around children, so it's important to explain to your children that some dogs may not appreciate their presence. ***Fees**** To participate in the fun run/walk, you must sign up and have a Strides for Strays T-shirt. The cost is $20 if you sign up by September 8th. After that date and on the day of the event, the fee will be $25. We recommend registering early to ensure we have enough T-shirts and bandanas available! If you just want to come and enjoy the event without participating in the run/walk, there is no fee; however, please note that you won't be included in all the fun activities!
